This work reviews and critically discusses the current understanding of two scaling laws,
which are ubiquitous in the modeling of monotonic plastic deformation in face-centered …

Fatigue performances of critical structures are strongly affected by the microstructural (eg
grain, defect, inclusion, etc.) size effect, and it is thus important to quantify their detrimental …

The number of cycles required to form and grow microstructurally small fatigue cracks in
metals exhibits substantial variability, particularly for low applied strain amplitudes. This …

Constitutive formulations have increasingly focused on physically-based approaches that
are less phenomenological and incorporate information from multiple scales. Most …

In a weakly textured material with relatively pore-free and homogeneous microstructure, the
local texture can influence primary crack propagation and secondary crack initiation …

Small fatigue crack initiation behaviour in a series of specimens containing different sizes of
micro-notch has been observed through RepliSet system during interrupted low cycle …

For multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) potential engineering applications,
understanding their low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior is of decisive importance. Recently, an …

A multiscale characterization of the microstructural evolutions taking place in 9 to 12 pct Cr
martensitic steels subjected to fatigue and creep-fatigue (CF) loadings is presented …

The dynamics of deformation localization and dislocation channel formation were
investigated in situ in a neutron-irradiated AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel and a model …

9–12% Cr quenched and tempered martensitic steels are known to soften under cyclic
loadings at high temperature. The present article proposes a model based on physical …
